Ok......so where were we........
Day 5, Saturday 7/30
After a quick breakfast of Princess Pop Tarts in our room, we made it over to the Magic Kingdom at park opening. The previous night had been evening EMH, and the park was empty for most of the morning! We walked right onto Splash Mt. and Big Thunder!
We were able to pick up all the rides we missed on our first day at MK, catch a second voyage on SMALL WORLD, and head out of the park a bit after 12 noon just as the crowds were starting to get heavy!
Back at the hotel (POP) we all got a much needed nap....except DS2 Elias who was content watching JoJo's Circus on the portible DVD player!
We awoke from our nap in time to meet my wife's friend who lives in the area. Along with her new boyfriend (possible fiancee) we had a 6:40 AP at Olivia's at OKW. GOOD EATS!!! Our service left a little to be desired, he was nice but not real attentive. All the food was fantastic, we shared apps.: Conch Fritters, Shrimp and Spinach Dip, and Cinnamon BBQ Wings! Great!
We were there quite a while, and ended up spending the rest of the evening there. As an added bonus, my 2 year old son slept through the entire meal!
He woke up on the ride back to POP, and he was more than delited to spend the rest of his night in the pool! The kiddie pool at POP is great, because it's not a pool in the traditional sense, it's more like a pond...and the kids don't need close suprevision. You can sit on a chair and watch them, instead of holding theme! So, it's relaxing for us too!
Day 6 Sunday 7/31
We had 9:40 AR at Cape May Cafe Character Breakfast...but we were all soooo tired we just slept right through it! (we made up for it by booking seats at Crystal Palace the next day!)
The first thing on our adjenda for the day was to see JoJo at the Studios by 4:30. So we took it easy, having b'fast in the food court and chillin' at the pool some more.
AS luck would have it, Elias fell asleep on the way to MGM and was super grumpy and mad when we woke him up to see JoJo! No pictures!? That was sad! He did wake up enough to enjoy the next Playhouse Disney show (again!)
We made a point to get good seats for the parade, which we did...and then it was cancelled because of the rain! The rain forced us into the ABC Commisary where we had a snack and just waited out the rain!
The Animation attraction took up a nice portion of the evening! DS13 Joey, got to go into the Animation Academy and draw a sketch of Pluto.
There was a silly long line for EMH bracelettes at the ABC Theatre!? We got our with a little bit of wait...hit up the rest of the stuff we wanted to do in that half of the park...including walking right onto a completely diserted STAR TOURS!?
Went down Hollywood BLVD. to the Coaster....was third in line to get a fast past when they were all gone for the night. The stand-by wait was 60 mins at 12am!
We grabbed a very late dinner with some fast food pizzas and then checked on the wait again.......still an hour! We called it quits at close to 1am!
Day 7 - 9 on the way!
